Hallo forum members,
I am Petra from Cologne and quite new in all DNA topics, therefore please apologize my perhaps stupid question. Besides my English knowledge is quiet simple and I wish you understand my question.
Yesterday I received the FF/PF results of my grandmother Oma (mother of mother Kit nr. 316149), which are in comparison to mine (kit E10388)very astonishing to me:
Oma has: European /Orcadian (97,92% / Err: ±0,07% ) and Africa (Yoruba, Bantu Kenya, Bantu South Africa, Mandenka) (2,08%/Err: ±0,07%)
I have: Europe (Western European) Orcadian (93,02% ±2,27%)
Middle East Palestinian, Adygei, Bedouin, Bedouin South, Druze, Iranian, Jewish, Mozabite (6,98% ±2,27%)
Because Oma is my direct maternal Ancestor we both have Haplogroup H1b1-T16362C and we both look very mediocre German with fair skin. The middle east in my PF results I thought it could be because of a possibly jewish ancestor, whom I could not find through appaer trail results till now. I thought he/she comes from my Oma´s line, but with this PF results, possibly not.
My questions now are:
I wonder now, how a northwest Europäen "relatively young" haplogroup as H1b1-T16362C is, can trace probably old ancient african origins?
Were is my mistake in thinking?
Are the 2,08% African just a "Grundrauschen" ~ statistical unaccuracy?
On gedmatch admixture I got these results:

Any ideas and help will be appreciated. Thank you :-)

Just tell me what my ancestry is.
I am not yet into the Family Finder as yet, although there are quite a few of my Project who have done theirs. The question would appear to be, not so much why does Oma show the African side but rather, why don't you. If Oma is your maternal grandmother then you should be the same I would think. Of course I am aware that you both have the same haplogroup so I guess there is a reason for the discrepancy between the two of you from some other source/reason. My Project mainly have Irish descendants but we actually have three German surnames carrying our Y-DNA too. Northern Germany though...i.e. Mecklenburg. By the way, can you tell me what Oma means in English please? I used to ride in a speed boat, as a kid in New Zealand, and it was called Oma. If it is not Maori it may be German. 
Thanks.
Well...my maternal grandfather was Scottish...GOVAN ... and I am told their name was taken by Indian families in India, from when they were Soldiers over there. However, we do have a Polish guy on our Project, besides the three Northern Germans I mentioned. All with our I1 haplogroup Y-DNA.
